Posts From Other Awesome People

We search the Internet to bring you relevant information to help you be a better youth worker. Here are some links from posts we thought were pretty great.

Fav Read Of The Week:

“Who Should Talk with Kids About Sex: School, Parents, or the Church?” by Kara Powell

• I thought this was an interesting article, one that should provoke some good discussion between you and your students' parents. While Dr. Powell's advice is centered more toward children here, I think the final point she makes about unplanned conversations is great advice for parents of teenagers.

The Rest Of The Best:

• Ben Birdsong—“Ministry Monday: Advantages to Writing Your Own Bible Study”
• Ben Kerns—“3 Components to an effective leaders meeting”
• Benjer McVeigh—“Youth Ministry Relics of the Past”
• Chris Wesley—“Your Most Important Relationships: Part 4 The Parents”
• Joel Mayward—“Top Youth Ministry Movies: Part 3”
• Phil Bell—“3 Essential Fall Plans You Should Be Making Now For Your Youth Ministry?”
• Rachel Blom—“Using resources for youth ministry? Ask these 3 questions first”

That's all the links for this week. As always, have an awesome weekend . . . And THANK YOU for the chance to serve you as part of the ym360 community.
